Must Read - Important Pickguard Characteristic Notice

Seymour Duncan SSL-3 Complete Strat Pickguard Assembly

Custom built, complete and fully loaded Seymour Duncan SSL-3 pickup set Strat® pickguard assembly.  Includes everything ready to drop in to your favorite Strat® by simply hooking up the hot wire (audio) and ground wires. The pickguard assembly is built with genuine Fender® pickguard, knobs, switch tip along with top quality CTS potentiometers, Orange Drop polyester film tone capacitors and a CRL pickup selector switch.  The SSL-3 pickup set comes with the Rw/Rp middle pickup for hum cancelling in pickup selection positions 2 and 4.

The SSL-3 pickup is the next step up from the SSL-5 and SSL-6 with more sustain, fullness, and output - and less treble response. The raised flat Alnico 5 pole pieces are taller for a stronger and deeper magnetic field. Extra coil windings provide extra power making this pickup great for heavier music styles.  Rated DC resistance is 16.40 K, resonant peak is 4.40 KHz.

The standard 11 hole pickguards are fully aluminum foil shielded as they come from Fender, click for illustration.

The '56/'59, '57, '62 and '65 vintage pickguards require a separate aluminum pickguard shield which is to be added extra if so desired. Use separate "Add to Cart" buttons found below for addition of these pickguard shields.

We offer a few assembly selection options for your pickguard to appeal to your particular Strat® body color.

California Proposition 65 Warning 

Important Note: If you are selecting your pickguard assembly to be built with one of the '56/'59, '57, '62 or '65 vintage pickguards they are unshielded as provided by Fender. To have the genuine Fender® full coverage aluminum pickguard shielding plate or '57 control area aluminum shielding plate installed please add it separately below using the appropriate "Add to Cart" button.  These separate aluminum shielding plates are specific and authentic to how Fender was shielding their pickguard assemblies during the '50s and early to mid 60's.  The '57 pickguard typically will have the control area aluminum shielding plate installed, the '62 and '65 pickguard typically will have the full coverage aluminum shielding plate installed.

Body Ground Connection:  Most of the modern American Strat® bodies (not vintage re-issue Strat's) have a ground wire connection inside the conductive paint shielded control cavity that is fastened down to the body with a small wood screw.  Click here for an illustration of this body ground connection. Most Mexican Strat® bodies we have encountered do not have this body ground connection.  Unless your bodies control cavity is shielded and you plan on connecting a ground wire from the electronics to the shielded control cavity then select "No" for this option. If you select YES for the "Body Ground" option and do not have the solder lug (ring eyelet) and mounting screw to attach this wire to your body, then you can add it to your order here -->
